"Yes, I will; that will," said the old

Albany made a show of rushing of, re-
turning late that evening with the news
that Mrs. Chayne had relented. The old
doctor almost went mad with joy, kissed
his darling relics, kissed Freya and even
embraced Albany. In few weeks time

Fell softly through the sarth's haze ciouded

Or II the wide fields please you best. where May
Still keeps her footprints green. albeit the dun
And crimson dabbed wildernesses sway
Their tawpy names in the October sun;
Whore summer faded slopes, fire fringed and

Are laced with scarlet flaming vines that run
Among the grasses sere-or if thou'h say
Lead. where the tragic rerelry's begun"
Where tyrian tinted woodlands cast away
Their wine stained, costly slories, one by one;
Where wild, fantastic madness and decay
Blend into strange, sad silence-likc the play

Speak then thy wish. Shall not gladly shun
This fashion fiattered world, SO thou may'st stay
To be my solaces-wilt thou say me nay'

1t is comparatively easy to forgive an

conscientiously refrain from forgetting 1t.

There are three kinds Of arrests in Rus
dA The firse are intended to inspire ter
roe and obtain clews to secret revolution
ary action; IL. second are intended by the
use OF torture to compel confession, or in
iuce the prisoner to betray friends; the
third are the political suspects, who are
kept in solitary confinement for mouths or
years, whilf the police scour the empire
in search Of eliminating evidence against
hem. Justice is prOverbially SLOW in
Russia The government has 80 much
police work in hand, there Is SO much un-
derground service, that cases have to wait
their turn. aad again and again prisoners
become insane from solitary confinement
or die in their dungeons before it is known
whether they are guilty or not. The sub
ject in Russia has no law ON his side. In
nocent or guilty, he Is At the mercy Of po-
lice officers, who are responsible to no one

On. w.y Of Telling Time.

There Is one way Of telling time that is
peculiar to city life, and that is by the
people you meet on the street. There are
people who quit work 1t o'clock in the
morning. those who go to work at 8, and
% ON. When you get along into the later
hours, such as 9, 10 and II, you will find
people that come down street at these
hours. 1t Is 90 in the afternoon and even
ing. One makes many acQuaintances Of
this kind too know young man who
ID almost constantly ON the street, shift
ing from one place to another, and he has
many Of these acquaintances, but instead
# telling the time BY them he uses tine
hour to find his men. Habit Is a queer
thing In this world, and many people who
boast of irregularity are more regular
than they are aware of-Budalo News.

The Ginger yic0.

Few people are aware Of the effect Of \
peculiar lsnd of dissipation known as
ginger drinking The article used is the
essence of ginger, such as is put up in the
several proprietary preparations known
to the trade, or the alcoholic extract ordi-
n;nily sold over the druggists counter.
Having once acquired liking for it, the
victim becomes as much a slave to his ap-
petite as the opium eater or the votary Of
cocaine. In its effect it Is much the most
injurious Of all such practices. for in the
course of time it destroys the coating of the
stomach and dooms its victim to slow
and agonizinG death. The druggist who
told me about the thing says that as GIN
ger essence contains about 100 PR cent.
alcohol, and whisky less than 80 per cent,
the former is thelefo twice as intoxicat-
ing In fact, this is the reason why it is
used by hardened old topers whose stom-
achs are no longer capable Of intoxicating
stimulation from whisky. They need the
more powerful agency Of the pure alcohol
in the ginger extract.
He told me he had two regular cus-
toners, a woman, who had contracted the
habit through employing the ginger on
several occasions for stomachic pains
The relief it afforded her was SO grateful
that she took to il upon any recurrence Of
slight exhilaration Of the alcohol banished
mental depression. In this way she got
to using it regularly, and finally to such
excess that she was often grossly intoxi-
Gated. Large doses produce o quiet
stupor: additional doses produce q pro-
found lethargic slumber, which lasts in

Linooln's favorite Ballads.

KNEW well what Mr. Lincoln meant
BY ''the little sad songs" The sentiment
that prompted him to call for such song
had its history, and one Of deep and
touching interest to me. One ''littIe sad
song'-a simple ballad, entitled Twenty
Years Ago''-was, above all others, his
favorite. He had NO special fondness for
operatic music; he loved simple ballads
and ditties. such as the common people
sing, whether Of the comic or pathetic
kind; but no one In the list touched his
great heart as did the song Of Twenty
Yesn Ago" Many q time in the old
days Of our familiar friendship on the
Illinois circuit and often at the White
House when he and were alone have
seen him in tears, while was rendering.
IN my poor way, that homely melody.
The late Judge David Davis, the Hon.
Leonard SWEET and Judge Corydon
Beckwith were equally partial to the
aame ballad. Often have l seen those
great men overcome by the peculiar
charm they seemed 70 ind in the senti-
ment and melody Of that simple song

In a few words Lieut.. C. H. Mcclellan,

report entitled instructions to Mariners
in Case of Snipwreck," gives good gen.

they are open and manned the year round,

throughout the year, who, after every
storm. is required to make extended ex
cursions along the coast, with q view Of
ascertaining whether any shipwreck has
occurred. and finding and succoring any
persons who may have been cast ashore.
Houses OF refuge are situated exclusively
upon the Florida coast, where the re-
quirements Of relief are widely different
from those OF any other portion OF the sea
board. Most of the life saving and life
